The trend to have indoor plants is on the rise like never before and I have to admit that there are a plenty of amazingly cool ways & DIY hacks to make your indoors look fresh and green. But while you take the plunge to do so, it never hurts to make them look even prettier with a modern yet simple, pink tinged plant holder, like this one.

Bright, colorful floral trays are bound to grab some attention as the center piece of your table. The thing that I love about these guys is they never let the spirit of spring fade away.

I also cannot resist to admire the balance of the print with the subtle sheen of pink metal running around it. These pieces are a must have!

3. Pink Pendant Lamps

If you’re looking to brighten up your dull corners with some new pendant lights, then they better be in rose-gold this year. I am quite certain, that with what it looks like currently, this will not be just another fad. Especially because it does resemble the look and feel of copper that has been in use for years but now comes with a more fancier art decor appeal.

4. Metallic Wallpapers

Wallpapers are making a great come-back and metallic colors are the trend setters. The subtle shine on metallic wallpapers help add a new dimension to smaller spaces or even better, can be used to create a targeted accent wall.

With silvers and gold as the standard metallic colors for wallpapers, warmer hues like that of copper or the rose-gold are great options for a rich modern look.

5. Pretty Waste

Who ever thought that even waste baskets could be pretty and dainty. Well, here they are.

Breaking the norm of plastics,we’ve had metal, cane, bamboo waste baskets as a much owned subtle style statement but who ever imagined of rose-gold waste baskets?

At least I din’t.

They come in a multitude of shapes and designs that can be a great for a teenager’s bedroom or even a smart addition to smaller spaces where you seldom get to do much due the daunting space crisis. 😬

And so here is my pick for what great style in great price would mean to me.

Don’t forget about your kitchen.

It’s not just about making something edible but doing it with love and a smile on your face.

Personally, I cannot resist good-looking kitchenware. It makes me want to do so much more in the kitchen than otherwise. To top it all, there is a wide array of kitchen products in pink tinged copper and rose-gold to choose from and add a happy spark to a regular kitchen.

8. Bed Accessories

While a complete bedding in rose-gold can be too much for most of us, using things like a throw or a fancy cushion as an accent wouldn’t be a bad deal at all.

This color is so rich yet so subdued that it can effortlessly lift up the spirit of your existing decor.
